love love love this show!!! Although I'm watching it in the UK so first season still!!!

When Ram recounts the story of Father Timothy, he repeatedly refers to himself as an "idiot orphan boy" (pg. 49). Considering how well Father Timothy treats him, why does he describe himself in this manner?< I think this is just him remembering how he feels and when you look back at certain aspects of your life you see how at the time you were being stupid etc. The recurring dream I didn't really like much either but I guess it is the constant need to know where you come from.

love the film, I can across it once when flicking through channels now every time i see it on I have to watch it!!

1. Who was your favourite character and why? Ram was my favourite character but I think the reason for this is because he is the main consistant one throughout other than Salim you don't read much about them. Ram is also a a character anyone can relate to, being very insightful into his life in hindsight. 2. Was there a particular part you enjoyed/disliked more than the rest? There was a concept of the book I particularly enjoyed and that was the obvious fact that knowledge does not always mean rich, educated or intelligent. Knowledge is a fact of life. 3. Was this the first book you've read in this genre/by this author, has it encouraged you to read more? Yes this is the first book I've read in this genre and by the author doh! 4. Were there any parts/ideas you struggled with? I did think that Ram was a very unlucky person (killing two people, being robbed, etc) and did not like the fact that his lucky coin had two heads. 5. Overall, was reading the book an enjoyable experience? I did enjoy reading the book much more than I expected, I saw the film before reading the book and I hated the film, so didn't expect to enjoy the book. More discussion questions: 1. Why does Vikas Swarup choose the name "Ram Mohammad Thomas" for his protagonist? The names represent three different religions -- besides displaying India's diversity, what does this say about Ram Mohammad Thomas as a person? I do like the theory that he has these religious connection due to making him more acceptable to different types of people reading the book. However I think it is important to Ram's character like when he prays at all the different places and he learns about all these religions throughout his life.

I just finished Marked and it was really really good, I enjoyed it muchly!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!

i was going to watch it, it looks funny what channel is it on again? xox

I can do this, but normally only when drunk I don't know why!!

I love this series I have all four seasons on dvd (which reminds me my brother still has a loan of them)

I have a plastic bookmark that is in the shape of butterflies. I got it with a mind body spirit thing.

Flash Forward, I recorded it during the week.

I am fine thank you a little tired. My first job was a paper round when I was like 14, I have like 30 customers loved it except for during my first week when I was collecting my paper money my customers dog attacked me *(twas scary)*

I'll keep an eye out for it anyways!!

I think this is way cute!! Hopefully this works Can I have a snowball waving!

Welcome Rose!!

Well I'm sire you will find time to fit them all in, just a case of organizational skills!!

That's good then, although be careful next thing you know she will be monitering your phone calls and your mail. It could get out of hand.

Well that's it isn't it, you just can't help but think about someone or something when people ask about it, it pops into your head and you can't get it out again so it's Angie's own fault, I'll speak to her later, try and reassure her for ya!

Welcome to the forum!!!

Yeah, that's the thing about Angie she just needs to feel like the prettier of the "couple", it's a shame really but I suppose when your boyfriend's ex is Jen you would feel rather insecure!! So all fair in love and war as they say!!

Well Brad Pitt does have a complex about his looks! He was telling me the other day how much he hates all those pics of himself.

lol. I must say MAC you have a great sense of humour, your post always make me smile! heh heh

I think mine actually hates me!! He scratches me most of the time, I'm covered in scratches and bites!!

lol, Yeh maybe that will get through to him.

Welcome Corina, I've just finished my housework well for the time being lol.

Mine just attacked me so he has been put in his room, until he calms down!! He is only 10months but it still hurts so he needs to learn!
